In this friendly community tavern, the bologna is sliced thick and is seriously flavorful stuff, a pork and beef blend that is garlic-scented and fatty enough that when it sizzles in a skillet, it develops a wickedly savory crust enveloping the moist meat within. G & R loads it into a sandwich with sweet pickles and onion (a great condiment combo), or your choice of mustard, mayonnaise, or tomato.

"Gourmet bologna is a culinary oxymoron, but this sandwich, built around a thick slice of G&R's house-made bologna, hoists the humble lunchmeat into a class of its own. Note the essential condiments: mustard, pickle, onion.(buffetbuster photo)"

"We saw no drunks when visiting the G&R, but the beverage of choice among adults most definitely is beer. (buffetbuster photo)"
